			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After getting the kicking of a lifetime over their controversial plan to force gamers to use their real names when posting on its official forums, Blizzard vice president and executive managing director for international operations Michael Ryder <a href="http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/blizzard-talks-starcraft-ii-interview" target="_blank">told Eurogamer</a> before StarCraft II&#8217;s midnight launch in London that the &#8220;process&#8221; had &#8220;worked&#8221;.</p>
